PM Modi interacts with Indian astronaut Shukla onboard ISS

Prime Minister Narendra Modi interacted with Group Captain Shubhanshu Shukla on Saturday, who is aboard the International Space Station. Modi said, you are farthest from India but closest to Indians’ heart and your journey marks the auspicious beginning of a new era. He said, Parikrama has been a centuries-old tradition in India, and you have been blessed with the rare opportunity to perform the parikrama of Mother Earth. Mr Modi extended his heartfelt congratulations and wished Captain Shukla for his mission. Group Captain Shubhanshu Shukla said that he is feeling proud to represent India. Sharing his experiences, with Prime Minister Modi, Captain Shukla said, when he was a child, he never imagined that he could become an astronaut. Captain Shukla said, under leadership the Prime Minister today’s India offers numerous opportunities to people of India to fulfil their dreams. Highlighting that Shubhanshu Shukla was the first Indian to be on board the International Space Station, the Prime Minister Modi enquired him about the contrast between his rigorous preparation on Earth and the actual conditions aboard the space station. The Astronaut shared that despite knowing about zero gravity and the nature of experiments in advance, the reality in orbit was entirely different. Captain Shukla added that simple acts like drinking water or sleeping become significant challenges in space.

On Wednesday, Axiom-4 mission, carrying Indian astronaut Shubhanshu Shukla was launched from Kennedy Space Centre in Florida, United States. Captain Shukla is the second Indian astronaut, who has travelled to space, four decades after Wing Commander Rakesh Sharma made the cosmic journey as part of a Soviet mission in 1984.
